Only Cabrillo could convert the interior of a nondescript lumber hauler into a state-of-the-art spy shipand only he could
take the helm on the dangerous covert missions it carries out for whichever US
agency pays the price.

In this first feature-length adventure, Cabrillo and his crew of expert
intelligence and naval men must put Tibet back in the hands of the Dalai Lama by
striking a deal with the Russians and Chinese. His gambling chip is a Golden
Buddha containing records of vast oil reserves in the disputed land.

But first, he'll have to locateand stealthe all-important artifact. And
there are certain people who would do anything in their power to see him fail.
